Leather Backpack Guides

Questions

Before You Order

What is a full-grain leather backpack?

Full-grain leather is the outermost layer of the hide with its natural grain left intact, so no two pieces are exactly alike. CHARGEO backpacks are cut from full-grain bovine leather.

Which CHARGEO backpack fits a laptop?

Eleven of our leather backpacks take a 15 inch laptop, among them the Parktown Leather Backpack and the Pretoria Leather Backpack. The Morningside Leather Backpack takes an 11 inch laptop or a tablet.

How long does a CHARGEO backpack take?

Every CHARGEO piece is made to order. Depending on our production schedule and the complexity of your commission, allow up to three months. We keep you informed of your order’s progress.

Is delivery free?

Yes. Delivery is free on every order across South Africa, sent by The Courier Guy.
